> That is great to hear! I am still titrating up on it and am starting to have a more difficult time falling asleep. I take Ambien to help but I still have a "tired but wired" feeling. I'm hopinh it will resolve itself as I continue to take this med.

> (and I take Cymbalta 60mg per night for depression)I've made it up to 200mg now, and I can safely say that my mood is better than it was. On the way up, though, I did go through periods where just opening my mouth to talk required too much energy and motivation for me to manage. My poor husband, I hate that he has to go through this for me.
Anyway, although my mood is better, I am having a pretty hellacious time sleeping. It's partly not being able to get to sleep, but it's more the waking throughout the night, and so on. I still need my naps in the day, and I can't say I'm getting anything at all done, but at least it's a heckova lot better than it was last time we talked.
Hope it helps you, too.
